Are these tapes ok to use??

I'm sure almost anything would work, however, when I bought my DVX100B...I did quite a bit of online research...and there was a lot consensus for the following being at the top of the list, if not the best. I use only these and I have had absolutely no problems.

"Panasonic AY-DVM63PQ"
 
You could use any MiniDV tape. I unfortunately have not had good luck with Maxell tapes. Lot's of dropouts in the past, so I'm biased.
I use and trust Panasonics PQ tapes for all my projects. Can't remember any time I've had problems with them. Pick some good tape and if it works for you, stick to it!
 
I like Fuji tapes, myself. I stay away from Sony because I've had bad experiences with them in the past with other camcorders. The heads kept getting gummed up with Sony tapes.

I always use DVM63PQ for three years no problem and even reuse many time.
 
Where can you find the tapes that it suggests using in the manual? I looked everywhere, best buy, wolf camera, circuit city. I cant find a DVM63PQ tape. I know the previous owner was using them. So I would like to stick with them.
I ended up picking up some 83min panisonic tape that said it was perfect for 3 ccd camera's on the package.
I'm trying to avoid buying from the internet.
